When thinking about buying a tablet we can look at numerous features and different sections depending on the use you want to give and there are models that fit more tasks than in others. In a matter of games there are two clear examples right now in the sector: on the one hand, the tablet Shield K1 NVIDIA and, secondly, the Acer Predator 8. If you want to squeeze Google Play games catalog, attentive to the following keys.
No doubt teams will provide really advanced performance in a matter of games, but there are a number of elements which differentiate both models and that define its approach to the field. Let’s say that bet Acer to provide the best experience focused on the Tablet, while that Nvidia relies on capabilities such as HDMI support, and your own remote controland other accessories.
NVIDIA Shield K1 vs Acer Predator 8: designing each game
The outward appearance and ergonomics is a key issue in a device that will use to play and you need to feel comfortable.
Features to consider in tablets made for gamers
The Acer Predator 8 advocates an aesthetic aggressive gamer , with four front speakers able to offer an excellent audio and lines very inspired in their laptops in this series, or peripherals that are usually used to play for advanced. An element that Acer has done considerable emphasis is also the haptic feedback of your terminal.

The Shield Tablet K1 chooses a completely opposite approach. This device also boasts a magnificent front speaker but your drawing is much more serene. Instead of search forms that facilitate clamping, design is more than one classic tablet and covers the rear with the same material as the Nexus 7 or 9 (2013) to provide a better grip. The ideal complement, as we say, is the remote control.

In a matter of format, both work on the same base: 8 inch Full HDscreen. The amount of pixels is perhaps not the highest in the market, but for games is not necessary, since none is usually designed with one higher resolution and, however, both lost in autonomy.
Acer Predator 8 vs Nvidia Shield K1: comparative performance
If we take a look at the benchmarks (we will meet with AnTuTu which is the most widely used) two teams render very on par, although the Shield Tablet K1 tends to be a little above with their 81,000 points by the estimated 72,000 of the Acer Predator. It is something that then really in games we won’t notice, since the two tablets are going smoothly.
The Acer Predator 8 mounted a processor Intel ATOM X 7-Z8700 of at a frequency of 1.6 GHz quad-core, although it reaches the 2, 4 GHz if you paddle to the lung, and your GPU is an Intel HD Graphics of octave generation. For its part the Nvidia has a chip from the manufacturer, the Tegra K1, 4-core 2.2 GHz and a GPU GeForce Kepler of 192 cores.
Experience Android, games aside
In the section of the RAM both added 2 GB, which is not a high figure but is that both tablets are prepared, specifically, to focus on a task: the game. The Android experience on two tablets is quite pure, but the Acer team perhaps has more bloatware, between which there are useful things as a configuration tool that fits the task that we are going to perform screen and processor.
For its part, the Nvidia Shield Tablet K1 is, for many users, the successor of the Nexus 7 (2013) natural, a compact device, with very pure Android and good pace of updates at a not too high price, around $ 200. Surely the Acer Predator 8 is a more dedicated gamers tablet and its price rises also slightly, to 300 euros.
